Chris Jericho’s next Hollywood project, Dark Match, is slated for release on Friday, January 31, 2025. This wrestling-themed action-horror film was one of several exciting titles announced by Shudder during the New York Comic Con.
Dark Match was first announced in December 2022 and is directed by Lowell Dean. The film boasts a star-studded cast, including Ayisha Issa (Transplant), Steven Ogg (The Walking Dead, Westworld), Sara Canning (The Vampire Diaries), Michael Eklund (The Call), and Jonathan Cherry (Goon).
Produced by John K. MacDonald, Don Depoe, Michael Feehan, Rhonda Baker, and Michael Peterson, with executive producers Eleanor Wiebe and Chris Jericho, Dark Match promises to thrill action and horror fans alike.
The official synopsis reads: “A small-time wrestling company accepts a lucrative gig in a remote, backwoods town, only to discover that the community is controlled by a mysterious cult leader with sinister plans for their match.”
Jericho, already well-known for his role in the Terrifier movies, is seeing continued success with Terrifier 3, which has grossed nearly $30 million since its debut on October 11, 2024.
